thanks man. found out my 5spd ecm I picked up already has immo defeated

I am throwing two codes for manifold pressure. I have NO charge piping hooked up, MAP isn't hooked up, no pipe off the turbo(one that recirculates DV/n75) and the car dies after 5 seconds of running. Anyone help?

now I am fighting with a small coolant hose. this one to be exact.
problem is; I am using the manual coolant flange with the auto hard pipes from the water pump. so the hose is literraly about a 1/4" too small. any ideas? Only thing I can think of is switching back to an automatic coolant flange then I'll be ok. Unless the manual one is slightly longer.

This plus a metal funnel or some other cone shape that you can jam in there while you heat it up. I don't know how much play you will get out of the hose if it is renforced. I had to do this to a coolant line once. The other problem is making sure it does not shrink back down.

with BFI front mount the stock g60 hood clears, with the taller BBM mount, it does not

Right. I have the BBM front mount and the old stock hood cleared - with a simple modification. I took the vac hose connection on the top of the intake manifold off, threaded the hole for a "flush" bolt, and then all was good.

A life frittered away disgusts God; he loves those who run straight for the finish line.

using the automatic 1.8t water pipes and a manual coolant flange I needed another 1"-to-3/4" coolant hose in a 90 bend. VW doesn't sell the hose separate, so I attempted to cut and splice in a section of copper pipe to make it longer to work with the manual flange. wrong. VW wanted $160 for the water pipes with the manual coolant hoses. F-that. So I traveled up to the local Auto Value and they ordered me what I wanted for $12. Got it and cut it to fit and it barley fits. Slightly bends in where the bend is. So I will more than likely have to switch back to the auto coolant flange for it to work flawlessly.

also found a local drag shop (that I didn't know existed) and they happen to have a few tach adapters on stock, so I picked up a MSD 8920 for $60. Seems pretty straight forward.

done.

Decided since I still need intercooler piping that I am going to rig up the stock side mount for now. It's going to be a long 850miles before the clutch is broken in anyway. Stock SMIC and stock tune should do the clutch good until break in. Then I'll put my FMIC in once I get more piping and a stage 2 tune. Hopefully by then I'll be stacking more big turbo goodies up.

doesn't seem like the cooler would be doing anything lol but if that works I may just do that for the time being.

Looks like high IAT to me. You will need at least some air flow over the core to help exchange the heat from the charged air to the air flowing through and around the intercooler. High IAT and pistons like to melt.
